I am trying to get X configured in Gentoo 1.4rc2 on my Toshiba 1415-S173 but cant get the 15'' LCD panel to work properly, by that I mean it will work, but only in 800x600 res and even then an inch on the right of the screen that is cut off. I have read through all of my docs that came with the laptop but the bastards didnt give me exact frequencies for the screen. If anyone can help i would be most greateful.

I've noticed the following code in my XF86Config file, I don't know if it's present for you, but I thought that if you put false for the crtscreen and maybe some size for panelsize that it might help.

Code:

        #Option     "CrtScreen"             # [<bool>]
        #Option     "PanelSize"             # [<str>]


Note: This is under my video card driver section, it was generated using

Code:

XFree86 -configure

I found the problem, it was my configuration, there are two options that Toshiba users shold add to get the GeForce4 working

Code:

Option "Ignore EDID" "1"
Option "GenerateRTList" "0"


Hope that will help someone else

well if you use an NVidia card (and you havnt manually disabled the splash) you will see and nvidia logo when X starts if you are using some other OpenGL supported card, run xgears, you should get about 300fps if you are 3d accelerated.
